Felt seasick

Eureka resident says he felt seasick from earthquake vibrations

From CNN's Veronica Miracle

One resident in Eureka, California, experienced vibrations from the earthquake for about 30 seconds, he told CNN, describing the event as “long and rolling.”

At the end of the quake, the vibrations were so small that John Wrigley said he felt almost seasick, as if he was on a ship.

The earthquake was not sharp in nature, Wrigley said, and he didn’t experience any damage to his home.

After speaking with neighbors and other friends in the community, Wrigley — who has lived in Humboldt County nearly his entire life — had not heard reports of any damage elsewhere in the coastal town. The Eureka city manager has also told CNN there were no immediate reports of damage.

Wrigley, who has experienced roughly 10 earthquakes while living in the county, said Thursday’s was the longest one he’s experienced there.
